Football as in pigskin, not as in Euro football aka soccer. This is a fully functional fantasy football league wobject for WebGUI. This is what it can do:

• Unlimited divisions.
• Unlimited teams per division.
• Unlimited players per team.
• Unlimited weeks per season.
• Unlimited games per week.
• Manager aka Commish can manage games, teams, and trades.
• Several statistical reports.
• Players can choose their own lineups, multiple weeks in advance if they like.
• Managers can lock lineups at any time.
• Managers can recalculate scores in case adjustments need to be made.

Mind you it is quick and dirty. Here are the things that I don't like and must fix eventually...

• You have to manually enter each weeks scores, but there is an easy to use interface to do so.
• No code optimization. The code is pretty sloppy, and there was no effort made to make this a robust permanently supportable wobject. I just built it because a friend asked me for it.
• No duplicate method. This means that the copy button is disabled and you can't make a package out of an FF wobject.
• No help.
• Positions are hard-coded.
• Real teams are hard-coded.

Here are the things I probably won't ever fix:

• It only works under MySQL.
• No internationalization. (This is mainly because Football is mostly an American sport; the rest of the world plays soccer.)
